I'm exhausted today and barely thinking straight. Had a full 9 hrs of classes and almost fell asleep in each one. But I have recently been reminded of the three little pearls of wisdom that my mother gave to me when I graduated from high school 10 years ago.

1. If he calls past 11 pm, it ain't nothing but a booty call (yes, she said "ain't nothing but a
booty call")

2. Drive a manual shift car. Even if you can only afford an old brown station wagon, if it's manual shift, you'll be able to pretend it's a sports car.

3. Watch out for people. Anyone can be "nice."
